In case you forgot: the writer deadline for the
yuri special issue is Friday, April 17 -- in other words, two weeks from today!
Also, beta readers? This is your chance to shine! If you're interested for beta-reading stories for the April yuri special issue, comment here with the number of stories you're willing to handle, and any other notes on your betaing style (ex. if you're willing to help with issues other than spelling/grammar, such as plot, characterization, and prose flow).
As usual: to avoid blind-leading-the-blind situations, please volunteer as a beta reader only if you yourself are confident of your spelling, grammar and syntax, and that words mean what you think they mean when you use them in sentences. As a minimum, you must be able to fix the majority of the problems listed in the resources linked from the
Writing Aids and Standards post.
If you want to offer your beta skills, leave a comment here indicating the best way for writers to get in touch with you; if you want to take someone up on their beta offer, respond directly to their comment or preferred method of communication.
